Track all meetings with your clients, customers, and employees and manage event reports with Salesforce Calendar View. Enabling you to prioritize your tasks according to your business requirements, Calendar View displays all your Salesforce Calendar events on the My Events Calendar.

While the Salesforce Classic includes a calendar to help remind you about appointments,

but the calendar in Lightning Experience takes it to the next level, to keep you working even more efficiently.

Salesforce Calendar views in Salesforce Lightning Services Experience can be created from any Salesforce standard or custom object. You can customize your calendar by choosing the data fields you want and the calendar displays them as Calendar items. Also, you can view, create, and edit in a day, week, or month view.

Enabling you to view all your events in Salesforce, you can also create, view, and edit your events in a single view. Further, you can edit, delete, and share your calendar and see your colleague’s calendar that has been added to your view.
